Turns articles into audio editions with an embeddable player and feed
BeyondWords, previously known as SpeechKit, is an audio publishing platform aimed at newsrooms and blogs. It narrates your articles with a chosen voice and returns an embeddable player plus a podcast feed, so a written piece can be heard on the page where it was published. Editors can review a draft read-through, fix names and numbers with pronunciation rules, and regenerate a single section rather than the whole piece. Voices come from several cloud providers, with custom voice creation on higher plans. What separates it from a plain MP3 generator is the publishing pipeline around the speech: plugins, scheduling, analytics and ad slots.
